dear 500$

If you have ETKA you can research your parts list your self and see what is
still offered -
The list of consumables that are available at every dealer level of ---
Brake Parts - filters and the like - are a good choice if you have a
climate controlled, vermin free space to store such things -

Aside from that - i notice from your practical approach that you may have
chosen comfort and efficiency over so called Eco Friendly -- What I believe
VW did was simply play according to the rules -
The rules said that every vehicle must test at a certain level and so VW
built a vehicle that tested at that level -
Mission Accomplished as far as i can see --
I live where we still covet incandescent lighting as a source of heat :)
